Central defender Benot Badiashile is Chelsea’s priority to bolster their defense this winter. The London club has already made a great offer to AS Monaco.
Badiashile will he leave Monaco this winter?
Undisputed holder of AS Monaco, Benot Badiashile is continuing to make good progress in a career that already looks very promising. The 21-year-old central defender had his first selections for the French team last September, against Austria and Denmark in the Nations League, and could take a new step in club during the winter transfer window.
Under contract until 2024 on the Rock, the French international is targeted by Chelsea for the winter transfer window. In search of a left-handed central defender, the London club has made the Mongasque its priority. The idea was initially to recruit Josko Gvardiol (RB Leipzig), but the price of the Croatian international soared after his fine World Cup. The Blues therefore turn to Badiashile, while Evan Ndika (Eintracht Frankfurt) and Piero Hincapi (Bayer Leverkusen) are the other tracks studied.
An offer of around €40 million!
Today, it is the Habs who are Chelsea’s priority, assures The Athletic. The English media spoke on Saturday of discussions between the two teams and explained that an agreement was possible for an amount of 35 million euros. Negotiations confirmed this Sunday by Foot Mercato, but our colleagues go even further and say that the English club has already made an offer of around €40m!
This fine proposal will give ASM food for thought despite the temptation to keep his element until the end of the season. Can the Principality club refuse such a sum of money when the player will only have one year left on his contract next summer? This is therefore the best time to try to sell it for the highest possible price. Especially since the bids can still climb since Manchester United could return to the charge in this case.
Should Monaco accept this €40m offer for Badiashile? Do not hesitate to react and discuss in the area add a comment …
